Yes, you’re quite literally describing the solution described in the article: "There needs to be an express focus on building for people who actually live in a place. Once you give the market free rein to build for anyone, then you’re just hoping that it trickles down to people. But increasingly, housing is seen as a commodity."

That you agree would make you one of the crying NIMBYs, it would seem.
Very well. You are correct, and I will admit my own ignorance with respect to the situation in Victoria as it appears to be wildly (in the literal sense of the word) different, and I used the NSW situational numbers.

ABC[0] reports following numbers for arson attacks on tobacconists across Australian states:

NSW: 14

Victoria: 130

Queensland: 30

South Australia: 12

Western Australia: 8

Whilst 14 (NSW) is more than a few, the order of magnitude difference compared with 130 (VIC) is a bewildering revelation, indeed, especially considering that NSW has a larger population. I do not know what makes NSW and VIC so different with respect to the matter at hand.

Olympic's 100 meters finals.

Being there was incredible cool to experience. The atmosphere was of pure emotion, and watching the fastest people in the world compete with eachother felt like a privilege.
I had an external battery pack for my Gameboy, could play and charge off the wall at the same time.

IIRC, no indicator of charge, just had to guess based on the contrast setting. I think it did eventually fail to hold a charge, but it lasted several years, at least. Not as good as NiMH from several years later though, but it was better than buying batteries all the time.
Yeah the last time this came up I posted the CMS handbook. If Medicare operated the way you falsely claim there would be an outcry similar to that over BCBS's behavior. BCBS was proposing something entirely different from how Medicare operates.
Your second link is literally Anthem passing provider fees (in violation of their contract, sure!) through to customers. The bills were from providers.

Fuck if I know what's going on between Medicare and UHC. It's a mess. Medicare Advantage is a hybrid Medicare/private system; once again, whatever fees were being passed to Medicare, they were coming from providers. Insurers can certainly inappropriately deny coverage, but they don't generally make de novo charges up. Charges come from providers.

Upcoding scandals, which literally appear to be what the UnitedHealth link you provided was about, were exactly what Anthem was trying to control for with its new announcement.
That's awful! That landlord sounds like a total see you next Tuesday. I hate how little responsibility landlords have for tenants in England. I totally sympathise

Some ideas:

- Call the police if the noise is after 11 or before 7. At least so it logged so you can tell the council

- Talk to a solicitor

- watch out for drug deliveries. Report to the police

Try to generate bad reviews:

- Get friends to book and stay on the cheapest nights and leave bad reviews

- Play loud music at 7am when they're hungover in bed. The bassy kind against the wall

- Obstruct their parking

- Put up flyers about the damage they're doing to the community. Act like a crazy person if you can "welcome" them when they arrive

- Knock on their door at 7am

You have the upper hand that their retaliation will be temporary as they don't live there

If the landlord continues to harass you that's a separate charge for the police to deal with
NATO Keys are distributed to every NATO member through distribution agencies. A good chunk of them (and the algorithms and cipher equipment) are produced by the US and shared (with some limitations) with NATO. I don't know the scope of algorithm sharing but I believe there are some limitations for NATO access to US-shared algorithms.

It's probably a case of 'nobody cares too much'. The standardization process is very long and the industry probably had already put them into their equipments.

ALE is not used that much and from what I can gather manual frequency establishment is often preferred. I'm not sure what the actual operational impact of this DoS would be, and if some spoofing is possible, but the actual communication is encrypted by different protocols depending on the type of comms (RATT, IP-like, Voice) so actually deciphering comms wouldn't be possible.

Started this a few days ago, so not much activity on it just yet.
That caught my eye too, because VCs never poured "billions" into any one company pre-dot-com bust. Unicorns were notable for being valued at $1B or more, but never raised that much in funding, and this only happened much later, a decade and a half after Amazons IPO - Amazon itself was never a unicorn, its post-IPO capitalization was $300M.

Amazon is famous for making losses after being publicly listed. Also, it was remiss of grandparent to not note that Amazon's losses were intentional for the sake of growth. OpenAI has no such excuse: their losses are just so that they stay in the game; if they attempted to turn profitable today, they'd be insolvent within months.
I was being sarcastic (well, playing the straight man)
>Bluesky is also cool because of being the first mover/developer of AT Protocol. It’s my view that at:// will be a scheme that is as ubiquitous and important as http:// in a few years. That we will use it to login into stuff instead of facebook, google or github and that there will be numerous messaging things (including those sending money and other resources) based on ‘lexicons’ as well.

Unless the AT Protocol split it self from the company to be something like matrix.org or SMTP. Then Bsky will always have an advantage over other indexers. [1]

Since I've been asked a thousand times by leftists, I'll try to answer. I feel like at least the right recognizes they're going further right.

> Democrats have moved to the right on topics like border control and immigration

Yes, because it's become such an apparent clusterfk they had no choice but to. It's not much different than a child covered in Nutella, with Nutella all over the table and floor telling their parents maybe no more Nutella. It wasn't a policy shift, it's attempting to save face. To this day some areas are claiming to be sanctuary and will fight it all.

Trans issues. Men in women's sports, tampons in men's bathrooms. Sex ed in elementary school? Kid's books about gay or trans parents and sex. Kids on puberty blockers? All would seem insane to Carter democrats.

DEI. BLM. Affirmative action
The whole equity explanation and movement. To my knowledge, they still want reparations, which are hugely unpopular.

Economy. UBI? The whole antiwork movement? The open rise of communists/socialists in citizens.

Biden and Kamala are pretty far right of the left, as many pointed out. It doesn't mean the left as a whole isn't moving further left.

Maybe to leftists things feel like they are moving right, but they absolutely aren't. The candidates representing them, poorly, are trying to salvage any votes they can and shy away from the movement of the members at large because they know they're not popular.

Trump is in many ways the same. Well, I have no idea what he is, he's a smooth talker and probably far to the left of whatever the MAGA movement is. Which is itself moving continually to the extreme right, to some fanfare.

People will probably link to some enlightened centrist meme. I don't care. I don't think I'm smarter or know policy better than anyone. I mostly want to be left alone, and draw ideas from both sides. I think the base for each is moving further apart. I don't care if it's downvoted, don't tell me my own eyes deceive me.

Edit: Please don't waste energy telling me why I'm wrong. I'm used to it. I likely won't read it. Read the end of the last paragraph again.

Yet Chrome for Google did help create a moat.

Note: I do generally agree with the article, but this also shows why you shouldn’t use analogies to reason.
Clearly not, because this is how Medicare operates. In fact, it's the whole premise for why Medicare is meant to bring prices down!
That is interesting, although improbable.
May help to think of these tools as on the opposite end of the spectrum. As an analogy:

1. langchain, llamaindex, etc are the equivalent of jquery or ORMs for calling third-party LLMs. They're thin adapter layers with a bit of consistency and common tasks across. Arguably like React, where they are thin composition layers. So complaints of being leaky abstractions is in the sense of an ORM getting in the way vs helping.

2. KG/graph RAG libraries are the LLM equivalent of, when regex + LIKE sql statements aren't enough, graduating to a full-blown lucene/solr engine. These are intelligence engines that address index-time, query-time, and likely, both. Thin libraries and those lacking standard benchmarks are a sign of experiments vs production-relevant: unless you're just talking to 1 pdf, not likely what you want. IMO, no 'winners' here yet: llamaindex was part of an early wave of preprocessors that feed PDFs etc to the KG, but not winning the actual 'smart' KG/RAG. In contrast, MSR Graph RAG is popular and benchmarks well, but if you read the github & paper, not intended for use -- ex: it addresses 1 family of infrequent query you'd do in a RAG system ("n-hop"), but not the primary kinds like mixing semantic+keyword search with query rewriting, and struggles with basics like updates.

Most VC infra/DB $ goes to a layer below the KG. For example, vector databases -- but vector DBs are relatively dumb blackboxes, you can think of them more like S3 or a DB index, while the LLM KG/AI quality work is generally a layer above. (We do train & tune our embedding models, but that's a tiny % of the ultimate win, mostly for smarter compression for handling scaling costs, not the bigger smarts.)

+ 1 to presentation being confusing! VC $ on agents, vector DB co's, etc, and well-meaning LLM enthusiasts are cranking out articles on small uses of LLMs, but in reality, these end up being pretty crappy in quality if you'd actually ship them. So once quality matters, you get into things like the KG/graph RAG work & evals, which is a lot more effort & grinding => smaller % of the infotainment & marketing going around.

(We do this stuff at real-time & data-intensive scales as part of Louie.AI, and are always looking for design partners, esp on graph rag, so happy to chat.)

For the most part, my observations is that we now just put up with rampant property crime and very little of it gets reported. This isn't surprising because getting cops to respond to property crime reports when you call 911 now takes so long that it isn't even worth it.

I've personally experienced more property crime and other issues in the past 5 to 10 years than my entire family experienced in the 29 to 34 years prior.

About a month and a half a go, I had some kids damage my car in the supermarket parking lot. Called 911. Waiting on hold for like 20 minutes because it wasn't an emergency. Cops didn't show for an hour. Called back, changed the address of the incident to my home. Cops ended up showing up 13 hours after the incident between 1 and 2 am. Growing up, I don't recall ever waiting more than 30 minutes for anything when 911 was called. I wouldn't have even called 911 for this issue if I had a choice. Supermarket wouldn't provide surveillance footage without a police report filed.

The statistics simply aren't telling the whole story. People have largely given up on reporting things because they've become so commonplace and folks don't expect anything to be done. Crime clearance rates for all crimes are down all over the country as we lose faith that anything will be done.

I wish I had the study I read one time handy, but it was comparing crime stats between the US and Japan over time and it basically showed that you can get to a point where crime has gotten so bad that it's no longer reported because folks no longer expect any resolution from reporting crime. This closely matches my personal experience with property crime that has impacted me and others I know.

Even the arsonist who tried to set my home on fire two years ago while on a meth bender is getting out in 5 years from now. The charges were two separate cases. One was 5 counts of arson 1 and the other was 1 count of arson 1 and violating a restraining order IIRC. Pled everything down to 6 counts of arson 2. 7 years total, with two years already served. In the end, one entire house burned down. One was severely damage and the other had minor damage because the fires were put out promptly.

We wouldn't bother to lock our doors growing up. Today, I probably record someone checking to see if my car is unlocked (crime of opportunity) about once every one to two months.
Clearly not, because this is how Medicare operates.

Yeah, we've been over this: Medicare does not set arbitrary caps on the length of a procedure. They pay for anesthesia services from the time the patient goes under to the time the patient wakes up.

In fact, it's the whole premise for why Medicare is meant to bring prices down!

In fact, it's not. Limiting care is pretty much the opposite of how Medicare operates and you can see this reflected in the claim denials. For-profit insurance companies deny claims at 2–3x the rate of Medicare because they are incentivized to deny care.

From Medicare's policy manual:

https://www.cms.gov/files/document/chapter2cptcodes00000-019...

A unique characteristic of anesthesia coding is the reporting of time units.
Payment for anesthesia services increases with time. In addition to reporting
a base unit value for an anesthesia service, the anesthesia practitioner reports
anesthesia time. Anesthesia time is defined as the period during which an
anesthesia practitioner is present with the patient. It starts when the anesthesia
practitioner begins to prepare the patient for anesthesia services in the operating
room or an equivalent area and ends when the anesthesia practitioner is no longer
furnishing anesthesia services to the patient (i.e., when the patient may be placed

Now I made a good faith look through your comment history to see if you'd actually posted anything like that. Barring something I missed I can only assume you're working based on an incorrect assumption of how Medicare pays for the cost of anesthesia.

There is a fixed component per procedure (base unit). This is based on the complexity of a procedure and roughly how long it's expected to take. That is why CMS would track how long a procedure is expected to take. There is a time based factor (time unit), and that is not limited in the way that BCBS was proposing.
Can someone explain what this has got to do with the OP?
Huh, for me in Hacki on Android both the original comment and the root post say "4 days ago"
Exactly, or when "one" build rule connecting a service to another is actually a hundred deeply nested build rules doing a lot more work, and every one of those code paths would need to correctly convey whether a dependency is required at the test level or not.

I guess smoking always messes with the health of people around you, even moderate; people breath that smoke unless you live alone in some forest. Eating red meat or drink a beer (aka moderate as well, although red meat you can also do in extremes for this to hold) hurts only you. Well, unless public healthcare, then it 'hurts' all tax payers; however, then you can talk about social media (mental health) and sugar as well for that list.
You understand “if any”?
me smoking a cigarette doesn't also cause other people around me to lose 20 min off their life without their consent. Wontonly spreading a virus does.

that said, I'm not a fan of smoking and there's obviously issues with second hand smoke. but it doesn't have the same exponential damage effect of an infectious disease.
What's wrong with vaping?
I wonder how long my great grandad would have lived if he hadn't smoked? He started smoking at 10 and died at 90.

Their math says roughly to 109.
That’s why they’re all watertight now.
Amusingly, "he" is incorrect! You are right to call this out.
You would have a point with alcohol, but red meat? Not really.
You don't directly damage the health of people around you if you consume red meat.

I sold my bay area house in 2018 and this was common then too. Sold for 17% above asking, but IIRC, we were expecting 10% over. A bit of a change from when I bought it in 2009 from a bank at $900 under the listing price. Fwiw, the zillow estimate is up about 33% from the sales price. Their listed comps are from nicer neighborhoods though.

From all we know, this was most likely an oversight by Carlsen and then an overreaction by FIDE. After he left on his own, I guess the main sponsor got pretty upset with FIDE and forced this dispensation to let all of them somehow save face and keep the star in the tournament.

This is a good overview of the public commercial spyware landscape on iOS over the years, including attributions to several of the high profile players in this space. Unfortunately, the rest of the talk is a little depressing. You'll note that I have been using words like "public" and "high profile". Despite these cases coming to light, the actual market is far broader than what was discussed here. Some of the exploits presented were not able to be conclusively tied to a specific entity or operator. Many attacks go entirely undetected.

The efforts in this space by defensive organizations are laudable, but very, very immature. There's this meme that has crossed over into the software space of the planes the come back with a lot of holes in them, indicating the regions where extra armor plating is actually the least important. The commercial spyware industry is a lot like that. Those stories you see of people finding exploits via crash logs and iOS databases? That's the lowest hanging fruit. People who know what they are doing are not leaving traces there. And pretty soon those who don't will stop dropping things there too. It's really, really important to understand that the detections well that these people are sipping from will dry up very soon. The proposed solutions from the talk are not nearly enough to help. Some of the things they're asking for (process lists, for example) are already exposed, but we're currently in the Stone Age of iPhone forensics on the defensive side. Those on offense, who are incentivized by money but also now by necessity, will far outstrip any attempts to catch them after-the-fact :(
Thank you Mr. Carter for a life of public service well lived.
MicroUSB was not mandated on the device. The adapter shipped in the box satisfied the requirements. If it weren't for competition from Lightning (2 sided connector) I'm not sure the switch to USB-C would have happened either so no that wasn't a legal transition of the same sort.

You don't do with alcohol either; only if you are a drunk; having a beer after work hurts only you. If you are downing them by the dozen and then get into a car, yep. Bad. Although; people who over-do red meat are usually men who watched some guru on tiktok say red meat good! and then talk about it more to everyone than even vegans do; quite harmful as it causes anger and distress for others who don't give a crap about what you eat or do.
